Hands on Analysis of Consumer Data from Product Tests using XLSTAT

This course is presented as four separate modules and covers the main techniques used for analysing data collected in Central Location (CLT) or Home Use (HUT) tests on products. Each session is a mix of talks and practical workshops with solutions and interpretation of the output included to help you improve your analysis skills. The methods are illustrated using XLSTAT software.

You can choose to book on all 4 modules (at a discounted price) or just choose the ones that are of most interest to you. As in all our courses, mathematical details are kept to a minimum with emphasis placed on the application of techniques and understanding of the key statistical outputs.

Following soon after this training we are hosting two webinars on Preference Mapping (22 June) and Preference Modelling (24 June) for product optimisation which complement the topics covered in these four modules. A 10% discount will be given to delegates who attended at least one of the modules of the “Hands On Analysis of Consumer Test Data from Product Tests using XLSTAT”

 

Module 1 – The Basics (8 June @ 15:00 BST/GMT+1)

  • Internal Preference Mapping
    • Data mapping using PCA
    • Visualisation of cluster solution
  • Cluster Validation
    • ANOVA modelling to confirm cluster differences in average liking patterms
    • Cluster Plotting

Module 4  – Other Scales (17 June @ 15:00 BST/GMT+1)

  • JAR Scales and Penalty Analysis
    • Advantages and disadvantages of the approach
    • Testing significant differences between products
    • Relating JAR to Liking – XLSTAT Penalty Analysis Routine
  • CATA and RATA Data
    • Significance testing of CATA data using Cochran’s Q Test
    • Product mapping of CATA data using Correspondence Analysis or PCA
    • Clustering of consumers using CATA data – XLSTAT CLUSCATA routine
    • Analysis and mapping of RATA Data
  • Ideal Product Profling
    • Ideal product scoring
    • Mapping and analysis for product optimisation

 

Each Module of three hours is available to purchase separately as a stand alone session, or book on all four modules to get the discounted price. When booking, please confirm which modules you wish to attend – either in the comment box of the booking form, or drop us an email at askqi@qistatistics.co.uk.
